Fred was extremely happy for her friends. It didn't surprise her that all of them were slowly pairing off, especially considering where they were. All of them worked so closely together. The only one without someone was Teyla but Fred wasn't sure if she was even interested in anyone since the other woman hardly ever spoke about liking someone as more than a friend. For all they knew, Teyla could be dating someone from one of the mainland's villages.
"Ceremony to become your parents?" Fred asked.
Callie nodded. "It's a ceremony my people did when a child would be orphaned, which happened a lot with the wraith attacking us. Since I'm the last of my people, Teyla has agreed to lead it. It'll happen during the next full moon," she explained.
"It's not one of those ceremonies where all of us are naked, is it?" Rodney asked with a scared look. "Because if it is..."
"No one wants to see you naked, Rodney," Ronon said with a disgusted look.
Fred laughed a little and found herself snuggling against John. She relaxed a little until she felt a sharp pain in her side. "Ow!" she said as she jerked a little.
"Alex kick you in the ribs again?" Jennifer asked.
"No. The kidney this time. But it hurts just as much," Fred grimaced. She then started to rub her pregnant stomach. "Alex, you need to stop trying to break my ribs and bruise my kidneys or daddy's going to have to ground you when you're born." She looked over at John and raised her eyebrows. "Right?"
